Every week throughout the Summer, I will berevealing a new and exciting flavour of delicious low-fat 'ice cream' in my

Slicecream Parlour.

This week, I've decided to make a simple but delicious dessert based on the amazing flavours of apple pie and cinnamon. I suppose I've made a kind of deconstructed apple pie but that always sounds a bit pretentious!

The cinnamon 'icecream' is spicy and pungent and is served over warm, diced apples then topped with two icing-sugar-dusted filo pastry cigarillos. It's a totally Heavenly dessert AND each portion is only a ridiculous 1pp!

This is a comforting, delicious and impressive dessert which is extremely simple to make.

You can make these in advance and gently reheat when you are ready to serve them.

Next, make the cinnamon 'ice-cream' by adding the cinnamon to the processed bananas according to my instructions above.

Pop the 'icecream' back into the freezer while you heat the apples.

Leaving the peel on, core and dice the apples into small pieces.

(Approx.1cm cubes).

Either cook gently in a pan until just soft but with a bite to them, or zap each diced apple for 2 minutes in the microwave like I did.

Pop the apple into your chosen serving dish. I used these gorgeous small, lidded preserve jars as I loved the modern, cool feel it gave the presentation. These are plastic ones, so the lids are not heavy and sit open beautifully to reveal the dessert in its full glory.

Working quickly, dollop a scoop of the cinnamon 'ice-cream' over the warm apple.

Finally, top with two warm filo cigarillos before serving.

Enjoy the warm and cold sensations and the crisp, smooth and chewy textures of these beautiful ingredients, working together in harmony.

Cinnamon and apple Heaven.

TIP

If you make the 'ice-cream' in advance, freeze in spoonfuls/scoops on a plate to make serving easier. Allow about 10 minutes to soften before serving so that it has a 'soft scoop' texture.
